About the PlayWritten and Directed by Kenneth Brown and starring Candice FiorentinoThe ever-cheerful Anatolia addresses her ESL class. She loves being a new Canadian working at Superstore, but questions about her past in Bosnia elicit a darker story of struggle, passion, and survival. Candice Fiorentino gives a heart-wrenching performance of a play that celebrates the power of the human spirit.

Performance HistoryCandice Fiorentino performed Anatolia Speaks in the 2013 and 2014 Canadian Fringe Circuit (London, Edmonton, Winnipeg, & Vancouver) as well as independently in Nanaimo and Cranbrook. In March 2014, we were honoured to feature the play in the Skirts Afire Festival, as well as tour to the Winnipeg and Vancouver Fringe Festivals.
